Yep! Like two seconds before your post... I was all like... Ohhhhhhh I missed one!

I'm thinking some poor creationist somewhere is going to see this shirt and, at first, think it is calling "the theory of evolution" science fiction. I imagine they will approach the shirtwoot! dighted sci-fi geek as a fellow, at first, only to be horrified upon discovering them to be anything but.

As a creationist, I'd have to disagree, though some that are looking for controversy would find it in a drawing of a daisy. I for one think this shirt is awesome, and am thinking about picking it up. It would be a no brainer if I hadn't already bought two Dr. Who themed shirts this week. (My wife makes me give her 3of my old shirts for every one I buy.)

If I had to guess, the vote count 2nd, 4th, and 5th place winners were disqualified per this week's rules.

Specifically, 2nd and 4th probably toed the line of "No copyrighted characters." and "No text only designs." too closely. And yes, I know both of them are more than text, but really the only original elements in them are the text and the placement of existing graphics. Yes, they may be redrawn or stylized graphics, but not derivative enough to ensure difference.
5th is much easier to disqualify using only the "No text only designs." rule because it is basically the definition of a text only shirt done with spraypaint pattern cards.
